Jefferies hits back at Houston
Jim Jefferies has hit back at Peter Houston after the Dundee United boss said Hearts played only route-one football during Sunday's 1-1 draw.[LNB] Houston suggested that long balls to burly striker Kevin Kyle were the only threat to the visitors who took a point after David Templeton's opener was cancelled out by Morgaro Gomis' 85th-minute wonder goal.[LNB]"That's the pot calling the kettle black because they were only effective when they thumped it up to Jon Daly," Jambos boss Jefferies told the Edinburgh Evening News.[LNB]"I thought our movement was good and we passed the ball.[LNB]"Long balls weren't our tactics but we were dangerous because Kyle is very good in the air and he puts people under pressure.[LNB]"But we didn't play long balls, we passed it around and he was useful on the deck too.[LNB]"The only time United were a threat was when they went direct through Daly and fed off second balls.[LNB]"They did that quite well but I don't agree with Housty - it's a bit of the pot calling the kettle black."
